Autumn Coloured Kale Salad, with a Citrus Dressing

Most of you will be in Autumn mood by now and Halloween is around the corner. Ok..yes we have to deal with chilly weather..but who doesn’t love the Autumn colours and feeling more cozy at home.

I keep promoting these amazing healthy greens and luckily Kale is getting easier available everywhere. So Kale is the base, then I added sautéed onions and sweet potatoes. You can then choose a variety of ingredients, whether you are vegan or vegetarian, whether you want it to be a side salad or a main course. Also the way of presenting this dish has many options. Beautifully presented on a plate, or all ingredients presented separately as in a Buddha Bowl, or all mixed in a bowl. Everything is possible.

Sometimes I notice that people still find Kale, specifically in a Salad, a bit sturdy to eat.. Ok i do get this.. Here some tricks to get the most out of your Kale Salad:

the Cavolo Nero, or Lacinato Kale is a bit sturdier then the Curly Kale, nevertheless if you continue following the next tricks..you don’t have to worry it will get soft and tasty.

Always remove the stem, stack the leaves on top of each other and make very thin stripes with a sharp knife, followed by some sideway cuts.

Prepare in advance if you have extra time. If not, at least cut your Kale first, make the dressing and add dressing to your Kale, then massage and squeeze you Kale. Taste and add more salt-pepper or dressing if needed.

Kale salads can be prepared in advance and can easily be kept for another day. This in comparison with other greens that look soggy pretty quick.
